Improvement of JXTA protocols for supporting reliable distributed applications in P2P systems In any distributed application, the communication between the distributed processes/nodes of the distributed systems is essential for both reliability and efficiency matters. In this work we address this issue for distributed applications based on JXTA protocols. After a careful examination of the current version of JXTA protocols, we observed the need for improving the original JXTA protocols, such as pipe services, to ensure reliable communication between peer nodes and the discovery and preseAuthor(s): Xhafa Fatos,Fernandez Raul,Daradoumis Thanasis,Bar

Kaleidoscope JEIRP on Learning Patterns for the Design and Deployment of Mathematical Games: Final R Over the last few years have witnessed a growing recognition of the educational
potential of computer games. However, it is generally agreed that the process of
designing and deploying TEL resources generally and games for mathematical
learning specifically is a difficult task. The Kaleidoscope project, "Learning patterns
for the design and deployment of mathematical games", aims to investigate this
problem. We work from the premise that designing and deploying games for
mathematical learning reAuthor(s): Pratt Dave,Winters Niall,Alexopoulou Efi,Bligh Jam

Using domain-specific and generic knowledge to support discovery learning about geometrical optics i Students encounter many obstacles during scientific discovery learning with computer-based simulations. It is hypothesized that an effective type of support, that does not interfere with the scientific discovery learning process, should be delivered on a ‘just-in-time’ base. This paper explores the effect of facilitating access to knowledge and skills through just-in-time information. An experiment was conducted in which a group of students who worked with a computer simulation on geometricaAuthor(s): Hulshof Casper,de Jong Ton
